Red, White, and Right

Obamacare has drained so much money from the wallet of the average American that it’s not even funny. Rather, it’s disgustingly insane. The faster Trump and Co. can get rid of this deeply flawed healthcare system, the better.

Now we’ve got yet another reason to hope for a speedy repeal.

According to HotAir citing a new report from the Inspector General of HHS, it seems the federal government wants a refund of nearly $10 million…why? Oh, because they’ve discovered the state of Colorado can’t adequately account for millions it received to help implement the Affordable Care Act:

‘These findings were caused by a lack of adequate stewardship of Federal funds,’ said the report. ‘Specifically, the Colorado marketplace had not developed, finalized, and implemented policies and procedures to ensure than it expended and accounted for establishment grand funds in accordance with [government] requirements.’”

Much of the findings in the report involve payments made before 2014 but that’s not the whole story. In fact, nearly half the lost money – $4,504,799, to be exact – was used for “unallowable hardware and software operational support and maintenance contract costs whose periods of benefit occurred after December 31, 2014.”

All of this begs the question: How much more taxpayer money was wasted or lost (i.e., “unaccounted for”) in other states? The Obamacare exchanges haven’t worked efficiently at all and this is just one piece of evidence…chances are, we’ll hear more in the coming months that’ll REALLY tick off taxpayers.
